It's about time for a new post on our blog.
We both been a bit slow lately in the sense that we don't feel like doing anything. A bit low, a bit homesick...
At the same time I think we are both doing more then ever. We see new doors opening, contacts made and ways to serve and work. Kenneth is spending a lot of time at the computer since he found a course that is helping him improve the home pages he promised others. Lena has got in contact with a group of women that are helping the poor and needy on the island. It's great fun to be able to serve in such a concrete way. And it's also a good way to practice her Greek because the women speak Greek among themselves.
The church has also been open more since we start to be there in the daytime -because of that the young ones are dropping by more often, they come and play music and stop for a chat -it's fun to see. And for a few weeks now we have had “club” for the teenagers. We are not experienced in this matter so it's a process for us but we are happy having such patience kids that support us. I hope we will find a way to do it “properly” before they give up on us...
But in the end God has it all in his hands. We got to trust him for speaking into the young lifes, only he can speak to their hearts as we have to open ours to hear him speak to us.

Happy birthday Kenneth!
Had a great fun day yesterday.
It started at 1 am. Kenneth came home from the bible study in Potos.
Our caravan was decorated with balloons, candels and a garland saying "Happy Birthday".
Kenneth got to open his presents in the night. Presents that I bought at the market... -super glue, lighter, batterys and other fine things... :-)
In the morning we had cookies and fellowship at the Thursday prayer in church. And then when the kids finished school they came by, got some cake and later we all went up to "our house" to play games! First the Swedish game "kubb" and then other relays -a real birthdayparty :-)We ended this beautiful day with a film at Pelidis house.
So my hunny bunny have celebrated yet another birthday. He doesn't like it because he doesn't want to get old. But what does age do when you're such a striking handsome man as my husband, with such a good heart and a creativity greater than a young man! All my love to you my beautiful one. Looking forward to many more years together.
